"Ask me" by William Stafford
"Ask me" it is title of a short poem wrote by William Stafford. Before read the poem, I had expected the author give answers to particular questions asked by the readers.What I like the most is how Stafford actually consider himself as the river ( which is path of the nature) by saying "What the river says, that is what I say". I would recommend this poem to a friend because I found it very interesting.Also it is educative and related to human being's life and nature.It also shows how nature has the answers of questions that human beings can't answer.

The Yellow Wallpaper, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
" The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, this text is exactly , what I thought about before reading it , yellow paper on a wall. what i liked the most about the story is at the end, when the narrator finally teared the yellow wallpaper in order to free the trapped woman which is symbolize as her own freedom. I really don't like the tone Gilman used ,because it sounded as if the narrator herself was crazy. I would recommend it to a friend because it is very interesting and also talk about women's physical and mental health in the 19th century.
